My favorite teacher was my middle school then high school choir teacher, Mrs. Gwen Witten Upchruch.

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

I loved speech class! Something about writing & telling a story resonated with me. I also enjoyed our school tv class, where I learned to shoot video & edit. It makes sense with my career that these two classes stood out as favorites.

What was your favorite school supply and why?

I always loved mechanical pencils. I doodled a lot in my notebooks & if I broke the lead there was no need to get up in front of the class & sharpen the pencil!

What was your favorite extracurricular activity?

I was class president & passionate about cheerleading, gymnastics & track. However, despite my inability to sing... choir was probably my favorite extracurricular because that's where I met my husband (don't worry, we got married ten years after high school)
